Diversion Diversion - the Router Ad-Blocker

[thelonelycoder]

Hi,

I noticed that the pixelserv-tls is not running and am not able to activate it, I tried disabling and enabling, restarting, upgrading and updating it without luck, any ideas ?

Asus RT-AC86U with Asuswrt-Merlin 384.10_2 with amtm 1.9 with Diversion 4.0.8

Look in the routers syslog for clues.

Does rebooting the router work?

Do you have the disk checker enabled in amtm for the USB drive? Does it show any errors (after a recent reboot)?

What other scripts do you have running? Are those all updated?

Look in the routers syslog for clues.

I think I found the culprit

Apr 8 22:44:56 Diversion: created br0ixelserv-tls 192.168.1.2, from /opt/etc/init.d/S80pixelserv-tls
Apr 8 22:44:56 pixelserv-tls[12779]: pixelserv-tls 2.2.1 (compiled: Mar 20 2019 07:45:07 flags: tfo tls1_3) options: 192.168.1.2
Apr 8 22:44:56 pixelserv-tls[12779]: Abort: Address already in use - :192.168.1.2:443

it's strange, I reserved the 192.168.1.2 for pixel

nope

Do you have the disk checker enabled in amtm for the USB drive?

yes, no errors

What other scripts do you have running? Are those all updated?

only amtm with diversion ,all updated

Did another device take that IP or is it already on your router? Run this command on your router:

netstat -anltp | grep " 192.168.1.2:443 "

I modified the starting pool to 192.168.1.3 so nobody could take 192.168.1.2.

noob question, how can I run that command on my router? directly on ssh? I tried looking for a terminal in the webui but didn't find it.

Yes, in the SSH terminal via PuTTY or whatever you used to install Diversion originally. Or just browse to https://192.168.1.2/ to see if anything is listening there.

 

[Ro berto]

lol, found it

during the weekend I gave AiCloud a try

Did you enable AiCloud on the router? If so, change the port under settings to 9443.

 

[thelonelycoder]

Haha, same conclusion @Ro berto

nailed it, just did that and now pixel is up and running, thanks decoderman

I was not getting any result in the ssh terminal with your command, so I browsed to the address and got it, thanks dave14305

There's a dedicated thread for Diversion on this board.

Thanks for the reply.

Is there anyway to test out if my Diversion is working correctly? like an specific URL? or where can one view the HOST files/URLs that Diversion is blocking?

According to "Use" - "Features" section, https://diversion.ch/diversion/use/features.html, there is an option - "Supports a blacklist and wildcard-blacklist for individual domains to be blocked that are not covered by the blocking file". I would like to know how do I include my own list of about 90 entries/URLs in Diversion?

I want to block these:

OK, upon doing more readings from https://diversion.ch, https://diversion.ch/diversion/use/blocking-file-hosts-files.html, most of the URLs of my post above are already included in the list http://winhelp2002.mvps.org/hosts.txt, now I'm reducing the RT-AC68U's "Firewall - URL Filter - URL Filter List:" to just 7 entries from Amazon FireTV updates.

The wonderful thing about using a router to block ads/URLs is I don't have to individually mess with downloading/updating/duplicates editing with all my PCs/Notebooks's "hosts" in C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc and its a MAJOR pain in the a** dealing with implementing "hosts" in Android phones/tablets.

Bravo to the creator of Diversion, now I can easily deal with the "URL Filter List: (Max Limit : 64)" in my Asus RT-AC68U with unique/localize URLs such as those from Amazon FireTV updates.

I'm still interested to know how to get my own list (in .txt?) included in Diversion if that's possible.

I thought that you'd have much more help by now.

I don't know how to do the whole list at once, but you should be able to enter them individually. I don't use this feature, so I hope others can help here.

Did you read or experiment on how to do that part on your own yet?

Thanks L&LD.

I'm the person and write and read SOP, but I couldn't find the SOP from
https://diversion.ch/. I will now read https://diversion.ch/diversion/manual/alternate-blocking-file.html and see if I could figure it out.

You could add your list to somewhere like Pastebin and then use the RAW link to it to add it as a source in your blocking list.
Make sure to use this format, otherwise it will not be included:
